This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

The typical beignets aux pommes are made with apple compote (apples slowly cooked in a pan with a bit of water until they become liquid).
I have never eaten beignets like that, where I'm from it's always a recognizable apple before it gets battered and fried (in thick slices if it's large or whole if small).
If I search for beignets aux pommes, the 1st, 2nd and 4th result is without compotes, just apple slices like I know them. The 3rd looks to be the compote version. Adding compote to the query finds recipes for "beignets a la compote de pommes", so I suspect that it's a regional thing that those are called apple beignets.
Always seen the compote ones around Paris, what's your region?
Flanders + Brussels.
Then I guess it's the Belgian version.
